Chapter 711 The first class of second grade
Levin stood in the visiting team's stand at Cadweiler Stadium, looking at the starting lineups of both sides printed on the stadium's big screen, and frowned: "Clark actually let the guy who made up the number start... I really can't understand it at all! ”
"Is there anything incomprehensible about this? Kamara was named by Clark for the club to introduce, which means he is very optimistic about this person. Of course he must support him..." His companion shrugged and curled his lips, with some sarcasm in his tone.
John Falkingham interrupted their conversation: "Come on, have you forgotten how you treated Hu last season? What about the end? I thought Levin and you would remember some lessons..."
When he said this, Levin blushed, but he still said: "Do you think everyone is a Hu? If the club buys a young man and becomes the next Hu, then we will make a lot of money! But this Is it possible? I don’t know what Kamala is capable of. I just think that from a probability perspective, the chance of you winning the lottery twice in a row is really slim..."
Although he was arguing with John, he did express the aspirations of many Leeds City fans.
Hulay's performance last season slapped many Leeds City fans in the face, and they recognized that Hulay is indeed a genius.
But how many such players are there?
Leeds City was so lucky last season that they got Hu Lai's SSR card.
But who can guarantee that every young player Leeds City recruits from lower-level leagues or overseas will have the quality of Hu Lai?
With such luck, how come we have to fight for relegation every time in the Premier League?
According to the law of conservation of luck, we had Hu Lai last season and all our good luck was used up. Then there will definitely be no such luck in buying an undiscovered talented player.
After the last warm-up match, a Leeds City fan posted online claiming that he had coached Ismail Kamara in "The Godfather of Champions". But he was not speaking for Kamala. This fan believes that Kamara has random potential in the game and is very unstable. If you are lucky and can catch someone with pretty good potential, there is still value in cultivating him. But if you have bad luck...it's garbage.
Obviously, he thinks that this time Leeds City got a piece of rubbish in reality.
Some fans ridiculed whether Leeds City's coaching team is using the game "The Godfather of Champions" to discover talents. It is better to use the scouting tool directly, which is more convenient and more accurate than finding people directly in the game.
John knew what Levin said made sense, and he had no way to refute, so he could only remain silent.
In the end, David Miller stood up and ended the meaningless argument: "Okay, is this the most important thing now? The Burley bastards are mocking us, and you still have time to bicker here. ?”
Burley Lancashire is from Lancashire and Leeds City is from West Yorkshire. Historically, these two places have been feuding.
When reflected on the football field, it becomes even more popular.
When the two sides met in this stadium last season, fans of the two teams had already exchanged insults.
At this moment, Burley fans, taking advantage of their home advantage, are using their songs to taunt and attack the Leeds City team and fans.
There were about 1,300 Leeds City fans who came with the team to the away game, and they were all concentrated on this triangular and narrow stand in the northeast corner of Cadweiler Stadium.
On the left and right were Lancashire Burley fans, separated by two rows of police officers wearing yellow reflective vests.
However, this does not prevent fans from both sides from choking each other - as long as they do not take action, the police do not care how they greet each other's female relatives.
When David Miller said this, Levin and John stopped arguing. They turned to the stands, raised their arms, raised their middle fingers and sang along with other Leeds City fans: "Last night we were on your mother's body, Just like last season’s standings! We were on your mom last night, just like last season’s standings!”
At the end of the Premier League last season, Leeds City was ranked 15th, and 16th place happened to be Lancashire. So in the standings, Leeds City is indeed above Burley...

While fans from both sides exchanged greetings in the stands, Leeds City and Burley players were waiting in the tunnel to play.
Unlike the mutual hostility between the fans, the players of the two teams are obviously not that angry - the two teams have not yet risen to the reputation of "mortal enemies".
So it was calm in the corridor before the game.
Hu Lai stood in the team and watched Ismail Kamara, who was right in front of him, enter the system space and use the [Lingxi Card] he had just redeemed on the French boy.
A chain of milky white light flew out from his head, and then sank into Kamala's body. At the same time, a new chain of light emerged from Kamala's body and flew towards Pete Williams.
The three of them were connected together by the white light chain.
In the last warm-up match, Kamara performed poorly and was questioned. Since Hulay hopes that Kamara can help him complete the task of scoring 30 goals in the season and winning the Premier League Golden Boot, he must first help Kamara integrate into the team. Otherwise, how can people help me?
As the saying goes, receive with peach and repay with plum.
If you give and gain, this is a harmonious and correct teammate relationship.
In addition, Hu Lai also bought himself a [lover's red rope] to wear on his wrist.
They say "a good start", and he naturally hopes to score a goal at the beginning of the new season to get a good start to the season and get a good start.
Spending points like this will lead to fewer and fewer points. However, if he cannot complete the task, these points will still be deducted, so it is better to use props to help him complete the task...

Despite Hu Lai's preparations, after the game officially started, he still felt the tenacity and ferocity of the opponent's defense.
He played at this stadium for Leeds City last season.
He was still coming on as a substitute, and it was his second Premier League game for Leeds City.
At the same time, it was also the first time he scored twice in the Premier League.
After the game, he was elected man of the match for the first time in the Premier League and received champagne. With his outstanding performance in this game, he also won the honor of the Premier League's best player of the round.
It can be said that he left great memories at this stadium.
He also left a very deep impression on his opponents.
So from the beginning of the game, he was closely guarded by Burley.
Center back William Barton, who was played by Hu Lai in the last match, was also responsible for defending him this time.
Not long after the game started, he completed the defense against Hulay without saying a word - when Hulay got the ball, he suddenly went around to defend and poked the football from Hulay's feet, destroying Leeds City's attack. .
Hu Lai didn't seem upset when the ball was stolen. He even had time to say hello to the opponent: "Hey, isn't this...who is that? I didn't expect to see you again at Burley!"
Barton turned to look at him and ignored him.
"How heartless, who is that..." Hu Lai muttered.
Hearing his whisper, Barton's forehead throbbed with veins, but he still held it back and did not speak up.
I just roared in my heart: You can't even remember my name, who are you so heartless? ?
Before this game, Button specifically reflected on why he was scored two goals by Hu Lai last season.
The reason was that he thought Hu Lai was chatting with him, distracting him, and at the same time arousing his emotions, causing him to lose his cool, and then he gave Hu Lai a chance.
It's easy to find the cause and think of a solution.
As long as I don't get hooked by him during the game, I will never answer his provocation. There must be nothing this person can do against me.
When the time comes to simply compete in terms of physical strength, this guy will no longer be my opponent!
And the successful defense just now is proof!
When I came around to grab the ball, he had no choice but to watch the football being snatched away by me...

"Hu Lai seems to have been heavily targeted by his opponent..." He Feng, who commented on the game, said after observing the game for a period of time.
"It's normal. After all, Hu Lai scored twice in this stadium last season..." Yan Kang said, "If I were the head coach of Burley, I would also let the team focus on defense against Hu Lai. ”
"Well, this is the so-called 'second year'. Generally speaking, players who shine in the first season can easily suffer greatly in the second season. It's because the opponents don't know enough about them in the first season. But after the second season, opponents know better and pay more attention to it, and it will become difficult to perform the same as in the first season..."
"We all hope that Hulay can perform well in his second season in the Premier League, but everyone must also be mentally prepared. The long season has just begun, don't be anxious because of the temporary ups and downs..."
The league has just begun, and the two commentators have already begun to vaccinate the Chinese fans in front of the TV.
It's not that they deliberately badmouth Hu Lai, it's that they have seen too many similar "lessons" before this.
Of course they don't want Hu Lai to encounter setbacks, but this is an objective law and does not depend on their personal wishes.
They want fans to know that, too. Realize that this is an objective law and has nothing to do with Hu Lai's subjective will.
When Hu Lai hits a trough, don't follow the trend on the Internet and criticize Hu Lai as "famous, but it's hard to live up to it", or put too much pressure on Hu Lai because you care too much.
Regardless of the peaks and troughs, this is the path Hu Lai wants to take and the path he should take. We bystanders can't do anything to help him, so at least we shouldn't cause any trouble.
Don't make it seem like we Chinese are all a bunch of callous people who don't know how to cherish our heroes. That would break people's hearts.
It is not that China has never produced representatives with influence comparable to Hu Lai and greater achievements than Hu Lai in other sports fields before, but what is difficult to understand is that the domestic controversies of these representatives are greater than those of their sports. Achieve greater things.
A Chinese athlete who broke the Western monopoly on short track racing was called a dog in his own country. This widespread and long-term insult and all kinds of rumors and ridicule continued until he retired. Let him go.
Is this how we should treat a national hero?
Neither He Feng nor Yan Kang hoped that Hu Lai would have such a future, so they had been instilling this concept in everyone - a normal mind.
For Hu Lai, they hope to be neither arrogant nor discouraged in defeat.
For fans, they want to win and love losing.
This is the first lesson for Hu Lai in his second grade. Give him more patience. The only child of Chinese football needs careful care. People are facing the wind and rain outside, so let’s not dig up their roots behind the scenes. (End of chapter)
